Porcelain Demitasse Spoons

I’ve been a fan of Muhs Home and their carefully curated collection of goods for some time now, but these porcelain demitasse spoons may have put me over the edge and into stalker territory. They come in the best muted shades and are both glazed and matte in finish. And those straight objects? Yup, spoons too. Perfect for putting sugar in your coffee or sprinkling salt onto your dinner.

Salt + Pepper Cellars

I’ve seen plenty of salt cellars and even a pepper cellar or two, but never a set of two. I love these salt + pepper cellars from Terrain to pieces. The sculpted porcelain, the handmade look, and that stitched detail on the back just seals the deal. I always use shakers, but would love to change over. How about you – cellars or shakers at the dining table?

Barky Turntable

Lately I’ve been eying turntables, one of which I haven’t owned since I was 12. (It was part of my all white stereo!) Some music just sounds better on vinyl, especially the songs of my childhood. (I remember buying 9″ records with my mom. At K-Mart!) I came across the Barky Turntable the other day and thought, “Yeah, now that’s a looker.” Wonder how it sounds?

Aircraft

Last week Aircraft Infused ScentSticks sent me a few of their fragrances to check out. I could tell you how you can use the 12 scents alone, or mix them together to make a unique one of your own (there’s up to 1,000 possible). Or maybe I could mention that they’re made of natural, biodegradable fibers from sustainable sources. But I want to tell you what I honest to goodness love about them.

1. There’s no oil. This from the lady who’s cat once spilled an entire bottle full of fig-scented diffuser all over himself and reeked for a month. The sticks infused with it instead of sitting in it. SMART.

2. The scents are really, really good. Right now I’m using Summer Rain and it’s reminiscent of the Sunflowers perfume I wore in junior high. The same, but different. I have them in my office, but the scent subtly makes its way through the entire back half of my house.

3. I dig the look. The little ceramic holder fits right in with my decor, and it doesn’t look cheap.

Basically, I’m sold! I can’t wait to check out more of the scents, and maybe snag a few more other areas of my home.

Aircraft provided sample products for me to review, but all opinions are my own.
